In reply to the discussion: Facebook Gave Nebraska Cops A Teen's DMs So They Could Prosecute Her For Having An Abortion [View all]LeftInTX
(34,006 posts)34. I believe it started with a friend who went to the police and said
"I have a friend who buried her fetus"...Something on that order. Obviously if the friend knew about the burial, she likely knew about the pills. The warrant simply states that an informant told them about a buried fetus.
As to why the friend did this, who knows? My hunch is she got mad at her and wanted to get even...Isn't that the usual reason teens turn on each other?
That the grounds for issuance of the search warrant are as follows:
On 04-26-22 began in investigation into the concerns that a juvenile female, identified as Celeste Burgess (06-16-04), had given birth prematurely supposedly to a stillborn child. C. Burgess then enacted the help of her mother, Jessica Burgess (02-01-81) and the two of them buried the child together. Both of the Burgess were telling others they needed to dig the child's body up and then burn it https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7zevd/this-is-the-data-facebook-gave-police-to-prosecute-a-teenager-for-abortion

Really looking forward to what increased cop funding will do in light of Dobbs.

While not impossible at 23 weeks, miscarriages typically happen at a much earlier stage.

I suppose the FB position is always to cooperate with law enforcement. Not good. n/t
